Mod Announcements / PLOT POST

Heya guys, this is pretty long overdue but here we go...!

First off, thank you thank you thank you to everyone who threw in a mod application over the last week. I know it's cheesy, but it really warms my heart to see people so invested and interested in the future of this game; above everything else, it's our full intention as the mods to continue making this as enjoyable as possible for all of you, and I can't even begin to express my gratitude for the patience you've shown us. THANK YOU.

With that said, we have brought on two more peeps as full mods- Blue and Krystal, who will be now be helping on everything from the plot to... well, basically everything. :D They will soon be available to answer questions and will before long begin such things as processing apps and Echoes as well. WISH THEM LUCK.

And now, what many of you have been waiting for more information on I know-

Current happenings and info on the upcoming plot.

• For now, everything listed on the last plot post remains pertinent, including what little info can be dug up on David Proud. Where he lives and currently works from are a mystery, any past addresses for either a dead end, with people who have never heard of him living where he used to - and employees who haven't seen him in years, respectively.

• Some time during the last few days, the forum where "No One" first put forward the idea of negotiating has gone down after the replies tapered off. How odd.

• There is also a new addition to what can be seen at the museum. Nearby the suspicious wolf statue, there is a cage behind a roped barrier, and in the cage is one of these things, a Galah. While odd enough on its own, should any of the reincarnated characters get near it, it will promptly begin to Freak Out, which will quickly be noted by at least one of the security guards stationed in the area.

For those who have a very keen eye, they may notice that the bird seems to have tiny humanlike thumbs where a wing's alula would be, and its eyes are a little... off. Similar to touching both statues, setting off the bird will cause suspicion to rise, albeit far more sharply. Exactly when it begins settling down (in other words, when whoever is making it agitated leaves) will be noted as well.

• Up until now, entering the mine has not proven to give participants anything interesting, but starting the twelfth, Wednesday, is when anyone who happens to wander in may meet the Sage of Earth. As mentioned before, he will only be willing to give answers once more people have gathered within the mines. He's also fully willing to wait a few days for people to be informed and gathered.

THIS IS A TRAP. Sorry.

All of those who are physically present for the Sage's speech - aside from an automatic Echo - will be subject to a yet to be seen unhappy time of things during their visit, whereas they will be in danger of losing their lives. Please keep this in mind when planning whether or not your character will attend.

I know many of you have already been laying out plans, so I'll let you continue on with that with this new kink thrown into the mix too. I strongly suggest that things be forward-dated here by at least a few days, so we don't run into as many continuity snags like with the hunting and fighting the werewolf/dog police- and so that anyone who might be connected to the network at the same time things are happening in the mines may have a chance to react in real time as well.

As always, please direct questions for the mods regarding these plot points to the thread below and not the post in general. Thank you!

To encourage the finding of the "Sage"...

After School Numbers Club!

Shall the boys and/or Lyall admit that they took interest in the mines and an investigative foray therein but didn't get as far as they would've liked, and discuss/suggest further exploration to others on the network?

SAGE STUFF

Okay what with the new info, ARE YOU STILL UP FOR THIS

I am, though I'm kind of a cheater since technically Chris can't actually die (though being rendered a ghost this early in the game will suck)

[personal profile] reapsthewind 2013-06-11 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I ASSUME that we can't be auto-killed since permadeath is a thing in this game? like we have to agree to that?

Chris was actually going to head the "finding" expedition, or so we'd agreed on earlier

Haha, yes, I'm still interested in Joshua showing up! I probably won't have him die, but...his healing powers might be even more useful now! Even though they're not that great yet oops.

[personal profile] destinedforrock 2013-06-11 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Got it!

I apologize if it sounded as if I was suggesting that they go back - just wondered if perhaps a reminder that the mines still ought to be explored was called for.

perrrrrrfect

I don't think I'm going to kill off Chris yet, even with her get-out-of-death-free card, just because said card comes with a lot of Problems, but time for traumatic echoes? HELLLL YEAH

Now that it's come forward that it ought to be a bit more exciting than previously anticipated, I say that I'd be quite willing to send Shawn.

YEP SHIRO WILL BE GETTING HIS REGENERATION

Which means I can have him be *horribly injured*

I am also a cheater, unless powers are disabled or something, since Kurt can probably port out of anything too nasty, but he'll stay in. He's not too smart when it comes to the offer of an infodump.
caosgo: (though we lie entwined)

[personal profile] caosgo 2013-06-11 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still up for it, and up for injuries though not death. (also if anyone with remotely useful Echoes wants to save his deadweight butt, you won't regret it, promise.)

Hoho, yes, I am interested in throwing Alex into this chaos! He'll join after the initial call to arms over the network.

[personal profile] scramasax 2013-06-11 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Anthony and Kurt have that in common, then! And I suppose I'm also a cheater!

In any case I also offer him up.

TERRIBLE INJURY / DEATH PARTY

[personal profile] reapsthewind 2013-06-11 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Okay so since on Plurk we felt this should be a thing...

THIS IS A THREAD FOR PLANNING ON EITHER

> Having your character MAYBE get horribly injured to the point of near-death (this obviously depends on the nature of the trap we're facing)

> Having your character actually die. With the usual caveat of this is a permadeath game so barring your character having special powers that let them escape said fate... yeah

> If your character HAS HEALING POWERS, or can get them in time, note so in here

Yep, still up for Tamara joining up after the all call to the network.

Now to think of an appropriately traumatic echo instead of the silly and useless one I was considering.

Lyall is still up for this. He needs to be there for scentings and things (and for people to protect him, because what ARE useful-for-combat-echoes, anyway?).

Gomez/Arhu will also be going, since Alex is. He's not letting his human go without him.

TERRIBLE INJURY for Shiro, get. His echo will be his high speed regen AWW YEA

[personal profile] amberhearted 2013-06-11 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
No death! Open to getting injured, severity of which TBD! Alex has 1/4th of his regenerative capabilities, which is more or less negligible atm, so he may require healing. (Or not, depending on the severity of other injuries + the healer's stamina.)

HOWEVER, if Alex IS noticeably injured and NOT healed, then it's likely he'll want to shack up with someone else for the night/day/whatever (to avoid his roommate). SO!! Potential CR opportunities?!
espigeonage: (༄To prevent me silencing heart's voice)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2013-06-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Though Julien's still only coming in after the general call comes up, because mild aversion to being in cave-ish things which I'm sure will not be worsened in any way by this.

...I may actually give him something useful for once. Will have to see about the nature of this!

[personal profile] earnedmystripes 2013-06-11 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Up for things!!

Not death, but I was thinking serious if not life-threatening injuries? Like cracked ribs/etc. Though hmmm I wouldn't want him to be out of commission too long either so I suppose putting Kotetsu in here depends on if healer-y people want to be in this group.

CHRIS/STARSCREAM

[personal profile] reapsthewind 2013-06-11 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Chris has an immortal Spark thanks to an Echo, which means that if her physical body is destroyed, she can live on as an indestructible ghost and posses people.

I am NOT getting her body destroyed to THAT degree here. I'm up for losing a limb, potentially, because she could get those back via echo given that all those will drastically change her body anyway. I mean if the mods OK that idea anyway. And even if not, she could just BUILD a new arm. Woo.

Also, if anyone has magical healing, depending on how good it is, as long as Chris' body doesn't sit too long, with how the Spark works, her body could have some pretty bad brain damage and such as long as it gets "repaired" enough to be functional. We're talking "If you can reconnect a removed heart, her spark could get it pumping again, probably"

She'd just need the outside help to jumpstart the body into functioning again, and the Spark will do the rest.

Citation: Starscream transplants the sparks of a bunch of convicts into a bunch of rusted out WWII relics in the cartoon and they wake up just fine and transform. So as long as the body is intact, the Spark can kickstart it (and Starscream possesses organic life in the comics in a few cases)

Again though, this is all prettty drastic. I may just go for a nasty injury.


TL;DR -- Mostly interested in not life-threatening or life-threatening but recoverable, but am up for more if other people can help.
